Cork Builders Providers managing director named 'Munster champion' for construction services

Guaranteed Irish honours Dan Twomey for almost half a century in the sector

Dan Twomey of Cork Builders Providers has been honoured as a 'Munster Champion' by Guaranteed Irish for his services to the construction sector.

The managing director of the biggest single builders' merchant in Ireland and Britain has been honoured as a 'Munster champion' by Guaranteed Irish for his services to the construction sector over almost half a century. 

Dan Twomey is a renowned figure in the construction supply and merchant business. In 1990, he played a pivotal role in establishing Cork Builders Providers. Under Dan’s leadership, Cork Builders Providers has grown to become the largest single builders’ merchants’ site in Ireland and the UK, with a flagship location in Togher. 

The business employs 128 staff across Cork.

Mr Twomey was appointed to the board of Grafton Merchanting ROI in 2005. He also reestablished Heaton Steel in Cork before becoming managing director of Cork Builders Providers in 2008.

“Dan Twomey exemplifies what it means to be a Guaranteed Irish business leader — deeply rooted in community, relentlessly focused on quality, and committed to supporting Irish jobs," said Guaranteed Irish chief executive Brid O’Connell. "We’re thrilled to have him as our Munster Champion and look forward to his contributions during Construction Month this September.” 

Guaranteed Irish will host its leading construction event in Dublin on September 24. Mr Twomey will join a panel of industry experts at the Dublin event, titled ‘Built in Ireland, Powered by Purpose: Connecting Construction, Facilities, and Energy.’
